Status Labels

Status labels come in two forms, single status items like Machine Status and multiple status labels like the joint dictionary which has multiple items and displays for all joints. Multiple status labels use a number identifier to select the axis, joint or spindle information wanted. When creating a status label set the objectName to the status you want.

Precision

Labels that return float values default precision is 3 for metric and 4 for inch.

To override the default, select the label then click on the Green Plus sign in the Property Editor and select String…

Axis Status

The Axis status contains status items for 9 axes. Replace the _n_ with the number of the axis. Axis numbers start at 0 and go through to 8. Returns a float.

Tool velocity using two perpendicular joint velocities.

Name the label perp_vel_lb and add two string Dynamic Properties called joint_0 and joint_1 and set the values to the perpendicular joint numbers you want to calculate.
